LIQUID KARMA SUPPLEMENT

[jojajico]

quick question guys,
im planning my next grow and want to include liquid karma as a supplement to my organic grow. im going to use fox farm organic soil along with the usualy worm casting and bat guano during flowering. i also plan to use a liquid organic supplement to my waterings. can i use liquid karma too. it seems like a great product and if i do do i foliar feed? thanks for all your great help guys.

Welcome to the forums here.
I used the advanced search function here and looked for "Liquid Karma" in the titles only search and came up with these other relevent threads that cover the various possible uses and suggested application dosages...etc..

I.M., sir.

What is this "search function" of which you speak?

LIQUID KARMA ™Bio-catalyst Plant Stimulant (FYI)
Product description and Benefits....

The introduction of LIQUID KARMA ™ represents a major and significant breakthrough in plant nutrition.
This is because LIQUID KARMA ™ contains a full complement of metabolically active organic compounds not found in regular plant foods or supplements. These unique compounds are absorbed immediately and act as regulatory signals, activators or catalysts to produce synchronized and accelerated growth under all conditions. LIQUID KARMA ™ functions as a growth engine because its high metabolic activity produces a large amount of energy which is immediately transformed to growth.

Biochemical Composition
LIQUID KARMA ™ contains seven major groups of nutrients based on their specific effects on plant growth and development:

A. Fermented Compost Solution – prepared by exhaustive bacterial and enzymatic fermentation of fish meal, composted seabird guano, spirulina, sea kelp, and soybean meal. In order to enhance the fermentation process and obtain a product which contains the highest possible biological activity, the fermentation is carried out in different stages in the presence of humic acid, citric acid, raw sugar cane, complex carbohydrates, glucose, fructose and over 72 trace elements. Fermented compost solution prepared in this manner is used by an increasing number of organic gardeners to obtain luxuriant vegetative growth, huge flowers and flavorful fruits and vegetables.

B. Amino Acids – LIQUID KARMA ™ contains essential amino acids which are derived from casein hydrolysate and soybean protein hydrolysate. Amino acids are important plant nutrients because they serve as building blocks for structural proteins and enzymes. In addition, amino acids are also involved in the activation of transfer ribonucleic acids (t-RNAs) and DNA synthesis.The following amino acids are present in LIQUID KARMA ™:glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, serine, threonine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, asparagine, glutamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, cysteine, cystine, methionine, proline, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan.

C. Vitamins – All of the vitamins used in this formulation are extremely beneficial for plant growth because they function as co-factors for enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism and the biosynthesis of macromolecules. LIQUID KARMA™ contains significant amounts of riboflavin, thiamine, pyridoxine and all of the other B-complex vitamins obtained from fermented yeast extracts.

D. Plant Extracts – LIQUID KARMA™ also contains aqueous and ethanolic extracts of etiolated wheat seedlings and Zea mays. These extracts contain high levels of the plant hormones known as auxins and cytokinins. For successful plant micropropagation (tissue culture), the crucial requirements for an auxin and cytokinin are well documented in botanical literature.

E. Humic Acid – In addition to the ingredients indicated above, LIQUID KARMA™ contains optimal levels of humic acid and fulvic acid derived from leonardite. These substances are known to stimulate the growth of roots, shoots and flow-ers, by maintaining the proper osmotic concentration in cells.

F. Seaweed Extract – LIQUID KARMA ™ also contains a high proportion of seaweed extract obtained from North Atlantic Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum). Kelp extract contains metabolically active carbohydrates, complex carbohydrates, minerals such as cobalt, strontium and iodine, and growth substances that are known to be beneficial for plant growth.

G. Carbohydrates – Carbohydrates are included in LIQUID KARMA ™ because they are the direct or indirect precursors of virtually every metabolite. Their presence provides the added burst of energy required to assimilate and metabolize all of the other wonderful ingredients present in LIQUID KARMA ™.

Benefits of Using LIQUID KARMA ™
Extensive research and field trials indicate that LIQUID KARMA ™ produces beneficial results during every phase of plant growth. Starting with seed germination and following through to vegetative growth, budding and flowering, the continued use of LIQUID KARMA ™ ensures optimal plant growth at every stage. In addition, because of the presence of high concentrations of B-complex vitamins and plant hormones in LIQUID KARMA ™, the product has been shown to be very effective in protecting plants from transplant shock, and in promoting the rooting of cuttings. The seven nutrient groups used in the formation of LIQUID KARMA ™ act synergistically to produce optimal plant growth.

Lets put it this way, it's the only bottled fertilizer or rather supplement I still use, the ONLY one.
You'd have to pry it from my cold, dead, hands.
It works greeat as a foliar spray too, I use it with every second watering.

Interesting.

I used it once, It looked like plant speed to me.
They went up then they crashed.

I was a bit put off on the effect.

But yall say it's an organic thing.

can u use liq karma threw the whole plants life

 

[Suby]

From the listing my man V posted you can see there is seaweed extract in it, growth hormone fro it can lead to some stretch but LK is a component in their Blooming ferts so I doubt it's a significant threat.

As for crashing my friend it is an organic thing, if your soil has no beneficial bacteria in sufficient quantities or your using it in a system where you are sterilizing your soil periodically then alot of it's ingredients are in fact un-used and overtime can build up and toxicify.

However this is not likely the cause of your plants relapse unless you overdid it.

Liquid Karma is my all time favorite "Voodoo Juice"...

Who's your buddy???
Liquid Karma is.

jojajico, the search function is on the top right of this and other thread forum pages...
I fixed the click to search function in my previous post.

A member here once commented that:

Plants suck it up like like a coke head.

The plants certainly do lOVE their little Liquid Karma fix
And they want it now

The seven nutrient groups used in the formation of LIQUID KARMA ™ act synergistically to produce optimal plant growth.

The 20% percent humic acid content in the formulation has a lot to do with it's Bio-stimulant activity as do the other naturally sourced "organic" goodies in it.
The various predigested,...(fermented, brewed and stewed)...
already decomposed "organic" goodies in it are designed to be readily assimilated by the plant in it's most basic chemical component form in order to be readily usuable by the plant.
The cactus juice content (Aloe and Yucca) also contributes benificially.
The aqueous and ethanolic extracts of*etiolated wheat and corn kernel extracts have synergistic benefits also apparently, and let us not forget the micronutrient package in the sea sourced components as well as the various critter sourced additives (fish meal, bird guano(s))...
yada yada, the stuffs delivers very positive observable benefits, I recommend it as a sophisticated, well researched "magic grow tonic".
If I were limited to just one nutrient additive, this would be it.

Either foliar or nutrient additive root feeding, the plants "just dig it man."


Happy gardening to Ya'll

thanks for the great replies. one last question someone mentioned that it will lose some benefit if the soil doenst have the proper microorganisms or not enough of them. should i add a microbial supplment to the soil or should fox famr organic soil already have what i need in it?

 

[bad wizard]

i grow hydro use all botanicare (grow, hydrogaurd, bloom, cal amg, and LKarma )and find i have to flush my LKarma a little early like 2 weeks earlier than the other nutes. the LK has a disticnt aroma and find my end product has a little residual smell and taste from the LK. unless i stop using it early. the Lkarma has a very dark thick quality to it when you look at it and it sticks around in the rootball pretty good. when i use it , it stains my white roots, grey.

admitally it is a pleasant aroma and taste for some varieties, i still like a pure expression of my product.

 

[bad wizard]

oh yea, and no doubt the plants love this s**t.

No overdoing. Very healthy soil very healthy plants.

It's what I observed,
